Abstract:The side‐outlet cyclone, featuring a novel geometric design with a lateral gas outlet, proves advantageous in space‐constrained environments compared to traditional cyclones with top gas outlets. Herein, a cyclone separator with a side‐outlet configuration was numerically investigated using the renormalization group k‐ε model and pressure drop and separation efficiency as the performance parameters. Simulation results revealed that the side‐outlet cyclone operates at a low to moderate pressure drop of 80.8412 … Show more
